Bedford Summer Sessions have hinted Bedford Park Proms could return, but only if local people want it to.

They’ve asked local music fans to get in touch and tell them if they should produce a proms event this summer to complement the events already booked to attend.

This includes Simple Minds, Supergrass, McFly and The Human League, Rag’n’Bone Man and Cafe Mambo Ibiza

“We’ve produced and organised a wide variety of concerts in Bedford Park, and we want to ask for your opinions on the popular Proms in Bedford Park,” said a statement from organisers Cuffe & Taylor.

“Should we consider producing one this summer? We’d love you to let us know, and tell us of some of your memories of previous Proms, and music pieces you’d like to hear performed?”, they asked.

They also hinted at what might form part of the event asking if there’s anything else they should add to the list of things that might make up a 2025 Proms event, such as:

  • Traditional Proms style
  • A family occasion, to include a lower child rate ticket.
  • A local choir to be featured.
  • To be able to bring your own food, drink, chairs tables (and sofas!)
  • A fun compere.
  • Proms music favourites at the end of the concert.

They’ve asked Bedford Independent readers to let them know by commenting on their Facebook post, adding, “Please do share and ask your friends too – this truly a Bedford event, and your input is welcomed.”
